Chapter 649: 649

She knew that Fourth Brother had always stood silently behind her like a shadow, supporting her without ever expressing his opinions, and always looking out for her well-being.

However, he had been too nice.

Deep down, she still hoped that Fourth Brother would fight for certain things.

For example, she was his wife. When she was in another man’s arms, he should have said no.

She remembered the last time, when Fourth Brother thought the Second Brother was ‘doing something’ with her in the master bedroom. The Second Brother had barged in, and she saw him furious and Fourth Brother in tears.

Fourth Brother didn’t even try to stop him at the door, only shedding tears in desperation.

A surge of bitterness filled her heart.

Xiao Qinghe managed to smile on the surface while greeting his wife, but inside, his heart ached. He wanted to ask if his wife had slept with Third Brother last night…

But he didn’t dare to ask.

He was afraid to find out the definite answer, afraid that his heartache would kill him.

Compared with Qinghe’s turmoil, Xiao Yuchuan strolled happily into the kitchen, his face filled with sunshine and radiance. “Fourth Brother, is the breakfast ready? What a trouble for you.”

Qinghe shook his head, “We are family. There’s no need to mention any trouble.”

With a dose of medicine for Third Brother at breakfast and lunch, the poison would be completely eliminated. Second Brother’s leg had also healed a lot.

They were all capable people.

And he…

He could only cook.

Xiao Yuchuan approached Su Qingyue, who was brushing her teeth, “Wife, did you sleep comfortably in your husband’s arms last night?”

Qingyue glared at him with muddy toothpaste in her mouth, mumbling, “I told you not to call me wife…”

“Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife…” He shamelessly called her fifty times in a row, stopping only when he was out of breath.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Qingyue rolled her eyes at him, “What a bastard!”

He grinned, revealing a row of bright teeth, “I’m not surnamed Wang or named Bada. It seems my wife has a poor memory and got your husband’s famous name wrong. Listen to me, my name is Xiao Yuchuan!”

Su Qingyue didn’t want to talk to someone with such a thick face.

Seeing how well his wife and Third Brother got along, Qinghe couldn’t help but feel envious. He brought over the washbasin filled with face washing water. Xiao Yuchuan reached out to wring the facecloth from the basin.

“This is the water I prepared for my wife to wash her face…” Qinghe said hesitantly.

“I know. My wife and I can just share one basin of water for washing.” Xiao Yuchuan passed the wrung cloth to Su Qingyue, “Here, wife, you wash first.”

“Hmph.” Annoyed by Yuchuan early in the morning, Su Qingyue paid him no heed and scooped water from the basin with her hand to wash her face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchuan spread the damp cloth over her face, “Let me wipe your face, or there’ll be water droplets.”

She threw the cloth back into the basin, “Mind your own business!”

Water splashed onto Xiao Qinghe’s clothes. Su Qingyue hurriedly tried to use her sleeve to wipe them.

Xiao Qinghe said shyly, “Wife, it’s alright…” Being able to call her wife felt really nice. He wanted to call her like Third Brother incessantly, but he lacked the courage to do so.

Every time Fourth Brother called her wife, it was like a stab in Xiao Yuchuan’s heart, and his good mood sank, “Let’s eat!”

Xiao Ailiu stood in the courtyard, looking into the open kitchen door. Seeing Third Brother and Fourth Brother being so nice to Su Qingyue made her envious.

Before she got married, her three brothers had treated her well, but she never received such attention.
